Contributor(s): Clough, Beverley [editor.] | Herring, Jonathan [editor.]
Publisher: London : Routledge, 2021Description: ix, 233 pages : illustration (black and white)Content type: text | still image Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9780367759346; 9780367232085Subject(s): Parents with disabilities | People with disabilities -- Family relationships | People with disabilities -- Care | Domestic relationsDDC classification: 306.874087 Summary: Disability studies is an area of increasing academic interest In addition to a subject in its own right, there has been growing concern to ensure that mainstream subjects diversify and include marginalised voices, including those of disabled people. Family law in modern times is often based on an 'able-bodied autonomous norm' but can fit less well with the complexities of living with disability. In response, this book addresses a range of important and highly topical issues: whether care proceedings are used too often in cases where parents have disabilities; how the law should respond to children who care for disabled parents - and the care of older family members with disabilities.

Disability studies is an area of increasing academic interest In addition to a subject in its own right, there has been growing concern to ensure that mainstream subjects diversify and include marginalised voices, including those of disabled people. Family law in modern times is often based on an 'able-bodied autonomous norm' but can fit less well with the complexities of living with disability.
